Increase battery life on the BlackBerry Storm

There are a couple ways you can increase your battery life on the Blackberry Storm:

• One feature that takes up a significant amount of battery power is GPS. If you aren't using GPS, simply switch it over to E911 only: Options > Advanced Options > GPS Services > change to E911
• Change network to 1xEv from Global: Options > Mobile Network > Network Technology > select 1xEV
• Lower your backlight: Options > Keyboard/Screen > Backlight > Set to 10 or 20
• Only use the ORM holster. It triggers the standby mode of the phone. Apparently there is no way to activate standby mode manually... yet

awesome. i love the BlackBerry Storm ... but the battery life is really orrible in comparison with other phones i've owned.

I've noticed that with the new version (.148) the battery lasts longer. This is because with the old version, even if the phone was locked, if the screen was tapped or touched, it would light up. Now, a hard button has to be pressed to have the same effect. Since I have the phone in my pocket all the time, the screen would constantly come on before, draining the battery.

thx for TS

but my black berry use battere max

how to make it min?

I lock it which turn off the screen faster.

Lower the backlight =D
That's what I do to mine.
BlackBerry9530/4.7.0.148 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/105

HOw long will the battery last Now?

Hey does anyone know how to get the unlock code using the IMEI? I just switched to T-Mobile and nw i have a verizon phone that i cant use! Help!

Thanks for the post!!

Also, I don't know if anyone else has already said this or not, but any applications you use such as text, camera, facebook games, anything like that always close them out, this saves you're battery I didn't have to change all that other stuff and my battery life on my Storm is great simply because I close out everything. It's a hassle at first I won't lie, but once you start doing it you'll get in the hang out it and you don't even notice you're doing it after awhile!
